adding more hardwood flooring

We had the builder install oak flooring with a natural finish in much of our house, except for the bedrooms(carpet). Stairs and hall plus 3 living spaces are oak. Now 8 yrs. later, what choice could we make to install hardwood flooring in the master bedroom? Do we hire the builder's subcontractor to add the same oak flooring, or could we go with a different wood or finish?

Whatever you want. A good installer should be able to match the existing, if it's not too exotic. And a good installer should be able to handle the transitions at the doorways without much difficulty, if you go with a different "look" in the bedrooms. No need to hire the builder's guy, but if he did a good job you should at least put him on your short list.
